Starters or ‘do now’ exercises in French sorted by topic created to give Ss a choice on which task they do (even if most go for the easiest match up option) and for recall. Add to them as I go along, but thought I’d share these so far…
El laberinto del fauno bundle, used with year 12 Spanish following AQA. Starters were vocab tests, which I have also uploaded.
As is my trademark, everything is unfinished but hopefully a helpful starting point for those who have never taught. Used this for two year 12 cycles. Improving as I go, learning as I go.
An unfinished scheme of work, past essay questions and essay writing resources are also included. No specific essay lessons because practice started very early, so it’s slowly built up throughout year.
Lots of resources from TES helped to create, but also heavily relied on the Hodder Guide. Where there are gaps, I used text from Hodder and treated it like a university lecture: teacher reads, students take notes then summarised together.
Lesson(s) based on AQA A Level French; unité 9 – comment on traite les criminels(Hodder textbook). However, dug it out of the archives with the intention of introducing year 11 high attainers to some of the A Level course due to some cultural/authentic materials included in the lesson.
Disclaimer: originally made during my PGCE (2019) and has only been updated aesthetically since then as I do not teach A Level French in my school :(
Lesson aimed at KS3 learners of German on household chores.
Disclaimer: Created for a half an hour interview lesson back during my PGCE days, but hopefully still helpful.
La casa de Bernarda Alba bundle, used with year 13 Spanish following AQA. Starters were vocab tests, which I have also uploaded.
As is my trademark, everything is unfinished but hopefully a helpful starting point for those who have never taught. Used this for two year 13 cycles. Improving as I go, learning as I go. Lots to improve on still.

The Cervantes Theatre performance is also a very important part of study.
Lesson(s) based around worksheets originally from TES author: littlemissmo, but have been ‘renovated’. Worksheets finished, but PowerPoint still needs some refining, hopefully it can just be helpful as a base/skeleton.
Context: First in ‘Destination Vacances’ unit with year 9 lower attaining students, have previously done other lessons on Francophonie in year 7 and year 8, but not enough. (Still working on making culture more a part of lessons)
Please also bear in mind that their may be language mistakes as I am not native.
Still needs more development, but hopefully useful as a base.
Includes words from El laberinto del fauno vocabulary lists and essay phrases lists from Quizlet. Students join a Quizlet group to aid independent study, but they are also supported to independetly revise content using their notes, etc.
Context: Serves as a starter to a double fortnightly film study lesson. Start studying the film in the first few weeks, and writing essays very early too to try and banish any fear over it before it can set in.
PowerPoint Lesson - revising content for end of year French assessment
AQA Foundation style with following topics:
photo – family and home
40 – eat, drink, meal, restaurant
translation – above
90 – where you live, activities in town, next weekend, last weekend
Adapted for lower prior attainers from resource by @MissYianniMFL
Something to work on/with as I plan to add more to it e.g. visuals, more context for some words, etc., but hopefully a helpful base. Made for year 13 students, units added as we went through the year but year 12 units and GCSE high frequency vocabulary from the start-ish.
Bit of context: Students joined a Quizlet group with vocabulary lists from the Oxford AQA AS and A2 textbooks to support independent language study. Some lessons they had starters on grammar (conjugation) or translation, these slides were used for the vocabulary starters.
Still needs more development, but hopefully useful as a base.

Space for students to track their assessments, note new vocab, etc.
PS: will most likely have a new edit by this time next year; late to the game but finally trialling giving students knowledge organisers for KS5, not just KS3/4
